Samuel "Sam" William Lufkin (May 8, 1891 â€" February 19, 1952) was an
American actor who usually appeared in small or bit roles in short
comedy films.Born in Utah, Lufkin spent most of his career at the Hal
Roach Studios where he made over 60 films. In over half of these, he
appeared alongside Laurel and Hardy, again mostly in small parts, but
occasionally in more substantial roles, such as an irascible cop (The
Music Box), or an irate motorist (Two Tars). After Laurel and Hardy
left Roach in 1940, the grim-faced Lufkin mostly appeared in further
bit roles in Hollywood feature films before his death of uremia in
1952. His grave is located at Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park.
